in conjunction with large mapper graphs, large numbers of
objects:<ul>
<li>Removed all* O(N) scanning behavior from the flush() process,
i.e. operations that were scanning the full session,
including an extremely expensive one that was erroneously
assuming primary key values were changing when this
was not the case.<ul>
<li>one edge case remains which may invoke a full scan,
if an existing primary key attribute is modified
to a new value.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The Session&#8217;s &#8220;weak referencing&#8221; behavior is now <em>full</em> -
no strong references whatsoever are made to a mapped object
or related items/collections in its __dict__.  Backrefs and
other cycles in objects no longer affect the Session&#8217;s ability
to lose all references to unmodified objects.  Objects with
pending changes still are maintained strongly until flush.<p>The implementation also improves performance by moving
the &#8220;resurrection&#8221; process of garbage collected items
to only be relevant for mappings that map &#8220;mutable&#8221;
attributes (i.e. PickleType, composite attrs).  This removes
overhead from the gc process and simplifies internal
behavior.</p>
<p>If a &#8220;mutable&#8221; attribute change is the sole change on an object
which is then dereferenced, the mapper will not have access to
other attribute state when the UPDATE is issued.  This may present
itself differently to some MapperExtensions.</p>
<p>The change also affects the internal attribute API, but not
the AttributeExtension interface nor any of the publically
documented attribute functions.</p>
</li>
<li>The unit of work no longer genererates a graph of &#8220;dependency&#8221;
processors for the full graph of mappers during flush(), instead
creating such processors only for those mappers which represent
objects with pending changes.  This saves a tremendous number
of method calls in the context of a large interconnected
graph of mappers.</li>
<li>Cached a wasteful &#8220;table sort&#8221; operation that previously
occured multiple times per flush, also removing significant
method call count from flush().</li>
<li>Other redundant behaviors have been simplified in
mapper._save_obj().</li>

placed on a many-to-many relation.   First, the bad news:
the warning will apply to both many-to-many as well as
many-to-one relations.  This is necessary since in both
cases, SQLA does not scan the full set of potential parents
when determining &#8220;orphan&#8221; status - for a persistent object
it only detects an in-python de-association event to establish
the object as an &#8220;orphan&#8221;.  Next, the good news: to support
one-to-one via a foreign key or assocation table, or to
support one-to-many via an association table, a new flag
single_parent=True may be set which indicates objects
linked to the relation are only meant to have a single parent.
The relation will raise an error if multiple parent-association
events occur within Python.<a class="changeset-link reference internal" href="#change-5cdc10aa381b945a9fb6df668bae7f5c">(link)</a><p></p>

were saved directly using Pysqlite (which just calls str()).
Note that this is incompatible with the existing microseconds
values in a SQLA 0.4 generated SQLite database file.<p>To get the old behavior globally:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>from sqlalchemy.databases.sqlite import DateTimeMixin
DateTimeMixin.__legacy_microseconds__ = True</div></blockquote>
<p>To get the behavior on individual DateTime types:</p>

mapper eligible for the MapperExtension &#8216;instrument_class&#8217;,
&#8216;init_instance&#8217; and &#8216;init_failed&#8217; events.  This is backwards

would receive these events.<a class="changeset-link reference internal" href="#change-31be20aa80e30309ce588ebcaab5bdab">(link)</a><p></p>
